Thermodynamics of Casson Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over a Melting Riga Plate in the Presence of Heat Source or Sink

This study emphasizes the effect of the flow rate, hybrid nanoparticles and thermal radiation on the magnetized mixed steady Casson nanofluid flow along the tailored size and shape of space shuttles and the nozzles of rocket engines. The similarity transformation was employed to reduce the difficulty of the governing equations of the problem to ordinary non-linear differential equations. The resulting governing equations are solved using Newton’s finite difference method with Maple 18.0 software. The effect of dimensionless parameters such as Hartman numbers, Prandtl number, Magnetic parameter and Eckert on hybrid nanofluid flow, and mass transfer is considered. It was found that an increase in the value of the Harman number increases the hybrid nanofluid flow. The application of this work can be found in space technology, electromagnetic crucible system and spacecraft.
